Dragonsphere (2014)

"Dragonsphere" plunges players into a land of the fantastic, casting them as the newly-crowned King of Callahach. Twenty years have passed since your father saved the world by entrapping the evil Sorcerer Sanwe, but now the spell is waning, and Sanwe's malevolent force threatens to consume the land once more. Only you can stop him, your quest potentially aided or subverted by bizarre races such as the shape-shifting Slathans, the faery-like Brynn-Fann, or the black-eyed Soptus Ecliptus. A thousand deaths await your every step as you unlock mind-bending puzzles, seek magical items just out of reach, do battle with a host of deadly monsters, and strive to obtain glorious rewards to preserve your father's legacy. The stage is set, and the fate of the world hinges upon your actions. This adventure allows players to journey through a fully realized fantasy world via dazzling state-of-the-art graphics, experiencing the narrative through haunting music and fully digitized speech. Ultra-smooth rotoscoping and advanced animation bring your exploits vividly to life, while the MADS intuitive interface provides an unprecedented range of actions at your fingertips. The inclusion of the soundtrack in high quality FLAC format further enhances the experience. "Dragonsphere" earns its place among the best games by Atari, as the company, through various acquisitions including that of MicroProse's extensive catalog, became the custodian of this iconic and critically acclaimed PC adventure.
